Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
7 Litre V8 in the Pink Panther car, so either Ford or Chevvy.
FWD so (probably) Cadillac or Olds.

It's mad to think your worth was judged on whether or not your car had an electric aerial

That's way more fascinating than it should be. The first guy going on about how annoyed he is that the "CD" badging on his Astra isn't more prominent so everyone else can see his status is gold.
Edit: "Because the i stands for important" and then go on to snobbery about hangers. I wonder if the film crew were serious or muttering "wanker" in their head as much as I am.

there’s a classic car show in the town centre today so I’ve spoken to the owner and can now provide a picture
Owner said one of four in the country, but probably the only convertible. Made in Canada for RHD markets.

one of mum-tat's neighbours has acquired a black 1000 recently (either that or they have had the car a while and just bought the house)
and i saw this car near mum-tat's today (on the interwebs from report on a show, not my photo)

How much do they want for it, can you get me their number please.
I seem to remember they have a weekly or monthly meet down on the front a Fridays. That would fit right in.
Sadly no sound with your pictures.

For want of a better place to put the comment. I was at Brands Hatch yesterday for some promotional thing, and there were a number of people out on the track behind the window while the presentations went on. The one that got the most attention - amongst all the recent Alpines (seem to be BH's house car if you rent one), BMWs and whatnot there was an OG NSX. That turned the most heads, and made the best noise.

Hmmm... it's a Le Mans Sport not the GOAT and the hatred I feel for the paint job is nothing compared to my feelings for the hood pins.

Just a shame the driver can't park for shit.

Easily remided. I wouldn't say no.

Saw a Nissan Cube yesterday. Always happy to see one of them. The one time in motoring history someone decided to make a sensible choice about the geometry of a car's internal space instead of a stupid choice about how to make a car the right kind of ugly to fit in with what everyone else does.
I mean really, which is uglier? The Nissan cube...
...or the ubiquitous, socially acceptable but objectively foul Honda Civic:

It's wild to think how fast the GOAT was in its day. A manual, LSD, Tri-Power (which is the only one you want, single carb GTOs can GTFO) would rip a 14 second quarter off the showroom floor on '60s tyres.

Jonah out of Veep had a Cube and the Civic Type-R is fully sick. That settles it for me.

Note steering wheel lock. Which, well if anyone did want to steal this, they could just pick it up and carry it off.
